"Sovereign AI Stack." with EDB

 

Solution Brief: Sovereign AI with EDB & Equitus on IBM Power10/11

Executive Summary:

Modern mission-critical environments require the power of Generative AI and Knowledge Graphs without the security risks of public cloud connectivity. By deploying Equitus KGNN and EDB Postgres AI on IBM Power10/11, organizations can ingest, store, and analyze petabytes of sensitive data within a completely air-gapped "Intelligence Factory."

The Integrated Stack

1. Hardware: IBM Power10/11 (The Foundation)

• No GPUs Needed: Leveraging the Matrix Math Accelerator (MMA), Equitus and EDB run deep learning and vector operations natively on the CPU.

• Security: Features like Transparent Data Encryption and Quantum-Safe readiness ensure that data at rest and in memory are protected from hardware-level side-channel attacks.

2. Database: EDB Postgres AI (The Engine)

• Unified Workloads: EDB handles transactional (SQL), analytical (OLAP), and vector (AI) data in a single, hardened engine.

• Sovereign Deployment: EDB's "Hybrid Manager" allows for zero-connectivity updates and management via local repositories.

• Oracle Compatibility: Seamlessly ingest legacy data that was previously "locked away" in high-cost, proprietary databases.

3. Intelligence: Equitus Fusion & KGNN (The Brain)

• Automated Context: Equitus automatically transforms EDB tables into a Knowledge Graph, revealing hidden relationships between entities (e.g., linking a shipping manifest to a suspected threat actor).

• Graph-RAG: While standard AI uses simple vector search, Equitus uses Graph-Augmented Retrieval, providing the "Why" and "How" behind every AI-generated answer with 100% traceability.

Deployment Workflow: Air-Gapped Setup

Phase	Action	Outcome
I. Provision	Deploy Red Hat OpenShift or SUSE Rancher on Power10 (LPARs).	A secure, containerized foundation.
II. Ingest	Use Network Eye to validate PCAP traffic as it populates the EDB database.	Verified, clean data-in-motion.
III. Store	EDB Postgres AI manages the "System of Record."	Enterprise-grade, high-availability storage.
IV. Model	Equitus KGNN builds the semantic knowledge graph.	AI-ready data with full provenance.
V. Act	Mission applications query the stack via local APIs.	Real-time intelligence with 0% data leakage.

Strategic Advantages

• Zero Data Leakage: Since the model training and inference happen on the same physical chip as the data storage, no data ever leaves the secure perimeter.

• Explainable AI (XAI): Unlike "black box" cloud models, every insight generated by the Equitus/EDB stack is mapped back to a specific record in the database and a specific packet captured by Teleseer.

• TCO Reduction: By eliminating NVIDIA GPUs and cloud egress fees, organizations typically see a 60-80% reduction in total cost of ownership for AI infrastructure.
